Mission Statement

The Office of Advising and Evaluations supports student success through academic advising
and records evaluation. We are the primary campus resource for information on:

General Education Requirements

Degree Evaluations

Graduation Requirements

University Academic Policies

The Office of Advising and Evaluations is a critical component in a collaborative
network of campus resources. Our highly skilled and experienced advisers provide academic
advising in General Education and Graduation requirements as well as clarify University
academic policy and procedure. We implement the Student Success goals outlined in
the University's Strategic Plan by advising our diverse undergraduate population.
We educate and empower students to become self-advocates for their educational and
professional goals.

In a stable and consistent environment, we enrich the development of academic advising
for faculty, staff and peer advisers. We train and support advisers in the effective
use of academic advising tools at San Diego State University. The staff in the Office
of Advising & Evaluations build relationships with campus advisers and administrators
in order to improve student retention, facilitate graduation, and confer all undergraduate
degrees.
